Madonna speaks out on the Michael Jackson tragedy! Madonna, according to Perez Hilton, said today, "I can't stop crying over the sad news. I have always admired Michael Jackson. The world has lost one of the greats, but his music will live on forever! My heart goes out to his three children and other members of his family. God bless."
Paris Hilton got more than she bargained for three days ago when her security team found her Hotel room in Dubai bugged, and rigged with secret cameras that overlooked showers, beds and other intimate spots in the suite. A Dubai newspaper says that it left Paris "Jittery." The Heiress is reportedly obsessed with Princess Diana and is completely attached to the idea that she will die a tragic and young death.

Jessica Simpson is back on the Reality TV circuit with a new show focusing on Beauty and concepts of beauty around the world. The show, set to air on Vh1 in the Fall/Winter lineup, is a reality concept based on female empowerment mixed with beauty trends. Some blogs claim the setup will be a celebrity camping and trekking documentary. Will we're not sure about the exact details, we can tell you it is a go. We will be excited to see Jessica back on the tube.
Ashlee Simpson and Pete deny that there are troubles in their marriage. They're putting on a brave face and heading out in full view of the media circuit to showcase how "ok" they are. Last night the pair were in NYC at a promotional party for AXE instinct. What stinks more, the Axe spray or their publicity team? More AXE Party pics HERE.
The pair have denied any relationship woes in the last few weeks, although the blogs have been abuzz with rumors of pregnancies, affairs, and breakups. What do you think? Are these two doomed to fail? Or will they be the Paul and Joanne of our generation?
Reps for Nick Lachey and Vanessa Mannillo have announced and confirmed that Nick and Vanessa are indeed over. For now, the split is amicable.
"They have amicably split but remain good friends who still greatly care for one another," Minnillo's rep told People.Well they haven't divied up the NYC condo, the Bel Air manse, and their home in Tacoma Washington. We can only hope that Nick and Jessica may soon be reunited. In what could be the publicity stunt of the decade; it would rocket their hurting careers into the spotlight once again and make them household names for a new generation of MTV viewers.
Kate Gosselin speaks out to People magazine about the divorce of the year. The shocker came on Monday's Jon and Kate +8 episode, where the pair revealed that a divorce was looming and would be documented by the show. Kate told People:
"On a good day, I feel relief. On a bad day, I feel failure."But certain people in the media are intent that she feel more than just failure. Kate, who has been accused of bad parenting, exploitation of her children, abuse, greed, lurid affairs with her bodyguard, and other general diva-dom, is being pointed at by The View, co-host, Elizabeth Hasselbeck. Hasselbeck said Wednesday on The View:
"Kate should get a job!" and "They Shouldn't have a show!"Hasselbeck is in her own media scrutiny as well. She's being accused of plagiarism over her book. Why is it that the ladies from the view seem to hate everyone and never have anything good to say about anybody? Should Hasselbeck have a show?
Can Audrina hold her own in a world without LC? Back in March, Audrina announced she was leaving the show. A few weeks later LC announced the same. Audrina isn't finished with TV however. MTV is making a new show for her focusing on her professional life and career. With the original Hill's girls gone, minus Heidi, how can the show go on? Will fans really tune in to watch Speidi's honeymoon stage and Stephanie's excessive whining and Cavallari's vodka-induced annoying laugh? Editorial HERE.
Rumor has it that Lauren Conrad fell out of grace with The Hills show's producers, after they repeatedly coerced meetings between LC and her former best friend from Colorado, Heidi Montag (nee Pratt). The ever abundance of "reunions" was noticeable by the MTV teaser ads for the last two seasons, respectively. Conrad left the show and during the reunion special made it clear that there would more than likely get no cameos. Replacing Conrad is Cavallari, who rose to fame as LC's nemesis on MTV's Laguna Beach. Cavallari has already sparked some Hate speech from Hill's resident whine-o, Stephanie Pratt:
“We are not really fans of her,” Pratt told the mag. “She doesn’t want to be friends with us. She wants to bring her acting skills to ‘The Hills’ and yell at all of us.”Come on, Stephanie. Nobody on The Hills acts. Right? Right...
Republican Governors are in the news a lot this week! We're already tired of the SC mess, so we figured we'd move to something a bit less controversial. We couldn't find that so we went with Palin.
Gov. Palin is paying over $8k back to the good people of Alaska. Yep. She's being hit by the recession just like the rest of us! Gov. Palin, as part of new ethics legislation in that state, is paying back $8,143.62 for travels that involved her daughters. Now the Governor will be footing the bill for unofficial state visits, parties, etc, that her daughters appear at. Full Story HERE.
But what do you think? Should elected public official's families have certain perks? We WANT your opinion!
Lauren has a comment: "No Comment." We know, we know. There will be an official comment on the Season Finale of The Hills next monday. But some of us don't want to wait that long!
Conrad was asked for her statement about the nuptials at the grand opening of the D&G store on Robertson.“No thoughts,"she told the press. "I don’t think any good has come out of me having an opinion on their relationship. We’ll keep it at that."Since when did Lauren not care what Spencer and Heidi thought? I'm smelling a 'newlyweds-esque' mtv spinoff here... Full Story HERE.
The older I get, the more romance I have with the desert that spawned me. It’s not just about the neon city, Elvis and Frank Sinatra – it’s the fact that being in Vegas excluded us from the ‘indie-ness’ of other places. I didn’t know that what we were doing might be considered uncool. If The Killers had been based in New York or Portland, we would’ve done things ironically… Like I said, I don’t understand why more people don’t wear sequins.We don't know why either Brandon. We think Sequins are fully acceptable in all situations most americans find themselves in. Board room, PTA, Que at Mcdonalds, hell, you can even wear sequins to walk thedog. One place where Brandon's music and sequins are always welcome: Victoria's Secret Fashion Show, of course.
I was pretty terrible [low, wry laugh]. I went out quietly, on my own, and I swam a couple of miles. I didn't quite know what to expect because this is the longest time I've ever been out the pool – but I was not very good. Just not very good at all. But I'm happy I'm getting back in the water and starting to make my way back to where I need to go. Like you said, it'll just be very good to get back to some kind of ordinary routine. I've always been big on finding a rhythm to my life, which is what training gives you, and I'm looking forward to that and starting to make the run for the next four years.In the interview, he also diclosed that the first time he was in the pool since Beijing was just last week! Michael, keeps that body tight even without the pool? We're so jealous! See the full story here.
Audrina will appear on the comedy show, MADTV in October. Audrina posted on her official Blog, “I can’t wait to show you guys a little bit of my goofy side.”The goofy Miss Audrina is better known for her dramatic roles on MTV's hit series, The Hills, where she stars alongside Lauren Conrad and Lo Bosworth, with whom she's reportedly not speaking. After the turn of events this week, we wonder if Audrina's success is making Lauren Conrad insecure after it has been revealed that her failed fashion line will be defunct after this Fall/Winter season. Audrina is also set to appear in the sequel to the action movie, Into The Blue.
John Mayer, who recently came back into the spotlight after a self-imposed absence after his breakup with Jennifer Aniston, is looking a little, well, less oversize. Mayer, who was hitting the gym hard prior to and during the relationship with the b-list Aniston, has recently traded his workout sweats for his go-out sweats, ending his tour with a bang and an unknown blonde waitress. John may be upset over Jessica Simpson's recent communication cutoff from Mayer and her other famous ex, Nick Lachey. Jessica revealed to People Magazine, "I don't want anybody that's been in my life (before) in my life anymore, and I don't want them to have any way of contacting me. ... I'm not just dating for fun. I want kids someday. I want a family."Ouch! Burn John, burn. Which brings us to why John Mayer's figure is headed to the dogs: Ever notice that Aniston's castoffs always end up turning into oversize, slouchy bums, like Vince Vaughn? (See Exhibit A). Yeah, Mayer's headed there too. We just know it.
We reported it first: LC's dinner date with co-star Whitney Port did not go well. The lunchdate, which also included shooting scenes for her MTV reality show, The Hills, left Lauren Conrad emotionally battered. Read more HERE. Lauren is having such a hard time dealing with all the changes in her life, she consulted a Psychic on Thursday September 4th. Close friend and confidante Whitney is rumored to be getting her own show about life in New York, and it seems the show is already Seguewaying into that direction. Meanwhile, rumors are flying that Lauren and Heidi have indeed buried the hatchet for the final season of the hit show, which draws in a large audience every week and is currently MTV's most popular program. Lauren seems to be caving from the pressure. Lauren was seen on Thursday at a Psychic's office in Los Angeles with a sign that read, "Maria Milagrosa Curandera Espiritual”. Lauren was also wearing a Kaballah string which we assume means she's making a desperate attempt to connect with some higher power. We only hope the visit can help Lauren resolve her apparent control issues.
Jessica Simpson and Loretta Lynn will be appearing on stage together in Nashville on September 6 at the Grand Ole' Opry. Jess, who is releasing her new, much hyped country cd, "Do You Know", is rumored to be completely happy that ex John Mayer and Jennifer Aniston are no longer an item. We can't keep up, so we're not sure if she's still dating Tony Romo this week or not, but our prediction is that Jess and John will reconcile! We just want these two to be together! More HERE.
